Features

Console port lets you talk to your Raspberry Pi over USB without a keyboard/mouse/monitor or Ethernet connection.
- 115200 baud
USB Micro-B connector
- Mounted on the bottom of the card
- See also our USB Mini connector version
Real FTDi FT230XS
Jumper selectable - power the Pi from your computer's USB port.
- Some nwere Pi cards may take too much power
Transmit/receive LEDs
26-pin connector works with Model A and Model B Pis

Procedure to test RPI-Console-U card

GVSDuino wired to custom board

Custom RASPI-PLUS-GVS-CFG Test card to GVSDuino card wiring
- Wire V5-1 header pin S (pin 3) to GVSDuino GVS pin D3 SIG (TX)
- Wire V5-2 header pin S (pin 3) to GVSDuino GVS pin D2 SIG (RX)
- Wire V5-1 header pin GND (pin 1) to GVSDuino GVS pin D2 GND
- Wire V5-2 header pin GND (pin 1) to GVSDuino GVS pin D3 GND
- Wire V5-1 header pin +5V (pin 2) to GVSDuino GVS pin D2 +5V power
- Wire V5-2 header pin +5V (pin 2) to GVSDuino GVS pin D3 +5V power
GVS-Switch to GVSDuino wiring
- GVS-Switch Pin 1 (GND) to GVSDuino J3 pin 6
- GVS-Switch Pin 2 (VCC) to GVSDuino J3 pin 2
- GVS-Switch Pin 3 (RESET*) to GVSDuino J3 pin 7

Test Software

Push button to reset on GVSDuino to send out canned message
Poll for receive character
- When character is received, echo back character
Loop forever
Code on GitHub
- Uses Software Serial to add a second UART to the GVSDuino
- Test pattern code

  mySerial.println("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog");
  mySerial.println("0123456789");
  mySerial.println("asdfghjkl");
  mySerial.println("Hit keys to test");

Test Procedure

Test setup as above
Test setup powered down
Install UUT (RPI-Console-U card being tested)
Connect USB Micro cable from Test Computer to UUT
Boards should power up
Look in Device manager to make sure COM port was added
Run putty on Test Computer
- Select COM port in putty
- 9600, n, 8, 1
- No handshake
Hit reset on GVS-Switch card on 830 point breadboard
Verify the message comes back

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
0123456789
asdfghjkl
Hit keys to test

Type and verify that the character comes back
Disconnect USB to RPI-Console

Custom wired RASPI-PLUS-GVS-CFG bare board

Card is connected to act as a Raspberry Pi emulator
- Install 20x2 male header going up on board to board connector at top of the board
- Install the TXS0108EWPR 3.3V<>5V Voltage Translator at U2
- Install F1 (5V fuse)
- Install 3.3V regulator at C2 position

Wire the Vreg
- VReg pin 1 goes to ground side of C2
- VReg pin 2 goes to +3.3V side of C2
- Jumper tab to VReg pin 2
- Wire VReg pin 3 to V5-8 pin 2 (+5V)
Add 47 uF cap from IO16-2 (+5V) and IO16-1 (GND)
Install 330 Ohm resistor at R4
Install 3mm LED at W jumper (J22-1 to J22-2) position (Cathode of LED to pin 1 of J22)
Add wire from UART connector pin 3 to V3-1 pin (TXD on CFG card) (Serial out from Pi)
Add wire from UART connector pin 4 to V3-2 pin (RXD on CFG card) (Serial in to Pi)
Install 2x3 header at V5-1/V5-2 position
- V5-1 (pin 1 = GND, pin 2 = +5V, pin 3 = TxD - Serial out from the Arduino)
- V5-2 (pin 1 = GND, pin 2 = +5V, pin 3 = RxD - Serial in to the Arduino)

Specs

External links

Rev X3 (vs X2)

Moved "Power Pi from USB" connector to center of card
Rev X2 (vs X1)
Moved connector slightly closer to the edge
Made USB connector PWB pads longer
Adds ID resistor pads to USB pin
- Not populated

Rev X1 Checkout

Micro USB mounting holes fit well
Connector could be slightly farther to the edge
USB connector PWB pads were too short - trimmed pins to fit
Ordered 3 more from OshPark new X2 rev
